wait a sec. - yeah i know that labour is MEANT to be left-wing...but
they're leader's a tory! - tony blair was just kicked out of the tory
party. to be honest with you - after going to a socialist-party
meeting with my dad - I'm fairly sure that all the left-wing people
are pretty much going to give up on the labour party for a
working-class rule. to be honest with you - i'd probably be more
politically active as a teenager - just the problem that there isn't a
local young-socialist-party nor have I got the means to travel far
enough to meet with a group / normal socialist-party. I could start a
group - but that also means that I have to learn alot, and also i
would have to be rather more un-shy (if that's a word), if i did. but
definately once i get to uni. - which is only erm...like 4years i
think - i WILL be much more active with everything - for example, the
brewing war between the U.S.A. and Iran will definately get me right
out of whatever i'm doing at the time, for the protests - it's just so
obvious that it is almost impossible for Iran to have nuclear bombs or
whatever they're called - they're a 3rd world country - and we've been
taught just how hard it would be for them to keep it active or
whatever it would be they have to do to keep the nuclear thing alive.
also why can't they have them - the U.S.A. has them, the U.K. has them
- and a few others do to...

anyway - start of a good debate this is now :D
